| Obverse description | Right-facing draped bust of Maria Theresa, her elaborately coiffed hair adorned with a jewelled ornament and cascading in voluminous curls, wearing a lace-trimmed bodice and pearl necklace, rendered in high relief in a Baroque idiom. The word PROVA appears incuse in the field to the right of the effigy. The circular Latin legend arcs around the periphery, flanked by rosette ornaments at the lower left, with the date 1918 positioned to the right of the bust. |

| Reverse description | A frontally displayed, spread eagle with wings raised and head turned to the left, surmounted by a royal crown with cross finial; the eagle clutches laurel and oak branches in its talons and bears upon its breast the quartered shield of the House of Savoy charged with a cross. The heraldic composition is boldly rendered in high relief against a smooth field, with the circular Latin legend distributed around the full periphery of the coin. |
